Read the following four rows of data containing a tissue, its classification, and its key feature or location: Row 1: Tissue: Tendon, Classification: Dense regular connective tissue, Feature: Attaches skeletal muscle to bone. Row 2: Tissue: Skin, Classification: Dense regular connective tissue, Feature: Fibroblasts and fibres are oriented differently. Row 3: Tissue: Cartilage, Classification: Specialized connective t
Options
- ARow 1
- BRow 3
- CRow 4
- DRow 2
Correct answer
D. Row 2
Step-by-step solution
Row 2 is incorrectly matched. Skin contains dense irregular connective tissue, not dense regular connective tissue. It has fibroblasts and many fibres (mostly collagen) that are oriented differently. Row 1 is correctly matched as tendons are dense regular connective tissues that attach skeletal muscles to bones. Row 3 is correctly matched as cartilage is a specialized connective tissue with a solid and pliable intercellular material that resists compression. Row 4 is correctly matched as areolar tissue is a loose c
